Cold Case meeting

Four times a year, members of various law enforcement agencies gather at the Oklahoma City police training center to talk about cold cases.

The meetings, which are closed to the public, allow investigators to pool information on cases they’re working and seek advice from their colleagues. A case featured at one of the meetings was the Comanche slaying of Mary Pewitt. That case was profiled on the Cold Case OK Web site earlier this year.

I’ve been invited to two of the meetings but only made it to one. The sessions pretty much last all day, but I was there for just an hour or two.

It’s pretty fascinating. Police detectives, OSBI agents, sheriff’s deputies and others all gathered in one classroom talking about the cases that haunt even the most hardened law enforcement professionals, the cases that have crawled under their skin, the cases they just can’t forget. It’s a compelling reminder that cops care.

Their next meeting isn’t for a few months. Hopefully, some of those cases will be closed by then.
